Agree, I hope that doesn't happen here.The Scout board became completely unreadable for nearly a year because one poster, and a few of his aliases inflamed the rank-and-file. Or, more accurately, because the rest of the board couldn't resist slagging him at every opportunity, real or perceived, and then piling on until many threads became raging dumpster fires.
Let's not do that here.
Me referring to Ames as JD was a JOKE. I thought that was apparent.Agree, I hope that doesn't happen here.
Posters got so paranoid that they began accusing every new poster as being another alias. In several instances they were correct, but there were other legit new posters greeted so harshly they didn't stick around.
Like most, Ames will need to be correct on more than a few tidbits before I trust his info. In the mean time though I extend my welcome to the board.

Wow, you know all that from just one post? ImpressiveSo the artist formerly known as Doe can make any claim he wants and rather than thinking critically about what motive he might have or where he might have come across the information, you'll just sit back and see if his guesses come true?
There is no way the coaching staff is telling people that Hall has announced his decision. That's not how they operate. There could be a good feeling around the program about their chances. (We heard as much from Dice yesterday. And Dice is a known entity who told us where his information came from.) Maybe the artist formerly known as Doe heard the same thing from his brother that Dice did from his buddy. Rather than handling it responsibly, Doe passes it off as inside info and let's his fanboys here insist that we wait to see if it comes true before we question its validity.
I also don't want a dumpster fire, but I don't think message board etiquette requires me to pretend I'm a chump.
His reaction to Bruce and PapaBear's posts make me skeptical as they are eerily similar to those of John Doe.
It's funny that a kid who has played it so close to the vest makes until a week of his announcement and now all of the sudden people have inside sources on where he will go.
He won't make a decision until the morning before the announcement. He won't even think about it until he goes to bed the night before. He will sequestered starting Monday. This was the only way he could be sure not to give it away early.Is it? Maybe he actually just made up his mind in the last week. Maybe he started telling some coaching staffs and friends where he is and isn't going. Maybe those people were not as tight lipped as he was through the recruiting process.

Source says both Hall and Manville to gray shirt and spend time at the RTC and the OTC the first year.

Hall already passed up the opportunity to leave AV for the OTC, can't see why he would do it now while in college AFTER the Olympics in '16?Source says both Hall and Manville to gray shirt and spend time at the RTC and the OTC the first year.
Good news! You are wrong about that!If they do that then we go thru this all over again next year. Sounds like fun to me.

Because he wanted to put a cap on AV and his sixth state title but would rather wrestle freestyle for a year than hang out in State College and do opens. He has already stated that this will likely be his route...didn't know Manville was going to as well.
"It was about a good month or so, month and a half, maybe."According to this TwinCities.com article, Hall has already informed the coaching staffs of the finalists of his decision. You can access the article at THIS LINK.
"It was about a good month or so, month and a half, maybe."
He made up his mind a while ago.
Some didn't accept his commitment? Really?Believe or don't believe matters not but silent verbals were given weeks ago.
Some accepted some didnt. But to respect the announcement is why it was quiet.
Plus I'm pretty sure cael etal would laugh at waterboarding as means to pry secrets out of them.
Could they wrestle freestyle while working out with the NLWC (or at one of the other regional training centers attached to one of the other schools Hall is considering) or must this kind of thing be done at the main OTC?
I had to reread that as well. I think he meant some coaches accepted that it was over and others didn't.Some didn't accept his commitment? Really?
Makes sense. I was under the impression that Hall wouldn't be shirting and would wrestle from day one. Zain '49, Cenzo '57, Nolf '65, Hall would wrestle off Rasheed at '74 and Bo would go '84 and wrestle-off CutchThey can do NLWC
So follow what others have done in the last few weeks. Those who accepted probably started to shop. Kudos to the respective staffs because things seem pretty quiet.I had to reread that as well. I think he meant some coaches accepted that it was over and others didn't.
Yes. For example, Nebraska recently getting Beau Breske, and whaddayaknow, Tanning Bed U. just got Elijah Cleary.So follow what others have done in the last few weeks. Those who accepted probably started to shop. Kudos to the respective staffs because things seem pretty quiet.
I'm hearing Cael has a regular spa appt at the Hanoi Hilton.Plus I'm pretty sure cael etal would laugh at waterboarding as means to pry secrets out of them.
